If every hate crime committed in every city was reported every day, you'd never walk out of your front door.

The question isn't crime reporting, but unequal - biased, racist - coverage given to one type of crime by perpetrator race over the other(s).

Damn, that is some sick crap. What the heck is wrong with people, doing crap like that? People suck. I hate people.

I know of a few hate crimes around my neighborhood.... Im from kentucky but it doesnt make a difference.

I don't think it will ever end. And now that there has been pro-black injustice on top of pro-white injustice, there will never be trust. It seems to me at some point we should just separate before we destroy each other.

and just when interracial marriage rates are at an all time high!
so much for that then!!

:D



RACE UNITY

..oh, it will end.

its just gonna take a thousand years of freakiness to make one big watercolor race, and we're all going to be pretty much the same thing. :mutt, no papers.

:D

I seem to have missed your point. From what I understand, 'coverage' and 'crime reporting' amount to the same thing.

I read the article again and could only come to the conclusion that you're drawing our attention to the fact that hate crime reporting or coverage is unequal, biased and racist.

In my city, a Sikh man was murdered in his convenience store for wearing a turban. The last words he heard before he died: "This is what all of America wants!" or something similar.

I remember in my newspaper, some lady called in and said she didn't feel sorry for him because he didn't put up a flag (which was included as a pullout in newspaper a couple days before). As it turns out he spent most of that morning trying to find a real fabric flag.

And does it really matter if he has a flag in his window? He was the victim of a violent hate crime, whether he was patriotic or not.

Many people turned up at his funeral, plenty of people that the family didn't know, and people signed a board that was nailed to a telephone post in front of his convenience store, writing their consolations for the family, etc.

You're right, you missed the point - crime reporting is a subset of coverage. :)

I don't see these as ethnic hate crimes in the traditional sense as much as patriotism influenced "crimes"... similar to what was done to Dresden or Japanese-Americans during WWII.
